Biden said yesterday that, in an effort to protect voting rights, "we’ll be asking my Republican friends in Congress and states and cities and counties to stand up for God’s sake." I do not think that will work: https://t.co/WTf9I8y6mc — PolitiTweet.org

"One of the main reasons that I left Facebook is that the most senior leadership in the company does not want to invest in understanding the impact of its core products. And it doesn’t want to make the data available for others to do the hard work and hold them accountable.” — PolitiTweet.org

@Noahpinion @mattyglesias I feel like this is totally in line with what Critical Race Theory scholars would say. The whole point is structural reform. Adding DC and maybe PR would be structural reform. — PolitiTweet.org

5. The Federalist is funded by the Thomas W. Smith Foundation. The director of the foundation opposes teaching African American history in schools. This is a tough position to advance, so it's dressed up as CRT. More here: https://t.co/i68eRCOCUo — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. This African-American history course was then derided as "curriculum counter to American values" Cue a quote from an anti-CRT astroturf org, No Left Turn: "We want all of history to be taught, but we also don’t want our children to pay for the sins of past generations" — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Critical Race Theory was never mentioned at the meeting but: "Byerly also noted a recently mandated African American history class would be a positive addition to county schools." So the problem is they are discussing teaching history in school — PolitiTweet.org

2. This Daily Wire article is aggregated from The Federalist. The Federalist article concerns a meeting of the County Board of Supervisors. So, right off the bat, what occurred at this meeting was not a lesson being presented to children. — PolitiTweet.org
